Dear Kathy, Ed and family,
    Tom have been my adopted brother and mama said "he is my adopted son".  Tom's favorite words are: "Walang problema mommy, OK lang"  Even if he is in pain physically and emotionally he copes his problem with ease.  He is a very religious man and very loving father.  He always every second of his life put his daughter Kathy and St Max church at the forefront. His unselfish attitude and sacrifices in life made him close to church. He would save every penny he got just to help his family through scholarships.  He would sacrifice all that he had ; just for Kathy.  Anything and anytime that St Max Church need something, Tom is there.  Ed, may wonder at times where Tom was; He is at the church praying or serving GOD.  He served our LORD by helping other people.  He served him by cooking and making food for everyone.  He served God by simply giving people company. 
   Brother Tom, I know that you are now in PEACE and I am sure that you will not suffer physically & emotionally because you are in HEAVEN with him.  You may be gone physically, we may not hear the doorbell ring at 5pm; we will sure miss you at dinnertime Tom; but now we are rest assured that you are happy with HIM in HEAVEN.  While you moved to heaven ahead of us; I am also happy that you are there to welcome us.  We will always include you to our prayers and rosaries. We love you Tom. "Magsunod-sunoran ka na lang kay LORD this time" (Tom's favorite phrase)

Love from all of the Valdres family and especially Mama Marina

I'll miss the small talk and the time we spent on retreats and our WATCH meetings. Most of all I'll miss his personal touch of shaking my hand during his Ushering at Eucharist time.

I'm so glad that memories never die and that he will be in our hearts forever. 

Our  condolences to the family.

See you in Heaven, my dear friend!

Tom was a beloved member of the St. Maximilian Kolbe retreat team. His Watch brothers will miss his love of the Word and his kind and willing heart.

Dear Edralin,
Words are poor things when we suffer the loss of a loved one. Still I want to convey my deepest sympathy at what I know is a very difficult time for you. I hope it's true that it's always darkest before the dawn and that new and brighter days are not far off for you. God bless.

My dear ading Edralin,
My condolences to you and your family. Remember that you are being prayed over for God's amazing grace, love and comfort. Tom will be missed but he is now resting safely in God's bosom. Listen to Jesus "Do not let your heart be
troubled.Believe in God,believe also in me. In my father's house there are many dwelling places.If it were not so,would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself,so that where I am, there you may be also." John 14: 1-3

Grace and peace be with you,
Manang Trining Ambrosio Yadav

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.
